Thoughts and Concepts of the Chief

By Antonio Stitt

The “Thoughts and Concepts” in this book will give the reader direct and doable information that will positively impact the management style of the executive leader, whether it’s in law enforcement or corporate America. Likewise, they can positively impact the management style of parents by providing them with feasible concepts on improving the family structure and helping parents realize how vital their role is to the life successes of their children.

Chief Stitt has co-authored two other books, “Change the Parent Change the Child,” and a children’s book, “Why Do I Have To?” Both of which complement and support this book. All three of these books were written to improve cohesion, structure, organization and communication in the family and in the workplace. Chief Stitt is acutely aware of the fact that juvenile laws have changed over the past fifteen or twenty years. As a result, the majority of the parenting skills that were implemented in our lives years ago simply don’t work in today’s society. That said, in the aforementioned first two books, he provides parents with doable and effective concepts that he believes will improve family structure and reduce the number of juveniles committing crimes in our community.
This book, Thoughts and Concepts of “The Chief,” is a soliloquy of various works on parenting concepts and executive team building. Ultimately, this book is filled with information that can empower, motivate, and coach the reader in becoming a “Better, Faster, Stronger” human being both at home and in the workplace.

FOREWORD

Chief Stitt has a unique way of getting the message about how to raise children across to parents, especially single parents. He uses excellent leadership skills, wit, and God-given common sense to help the parent and the child to be all that they were created to be. Chief Stitt shows parents how to alter their attitudes and actions, and as a result of that redirect, the children also change their behaviors and attitudes. Tough love is hard to swallow; so is good medicine, but the results are phenomenal.

Chief Stitt has a passion and heart to help parents understand the scripture: Train up a child in the way he should go and when he is old, he will not depart from it (Proverbs 22:6 KJV). If you train a child and make sure he or she is, first, facing in the right direction, he or she will eventually go in the right direction. When these children become adults and parents themselves, I’m quite sure that they will also use the advice that the Chief shared with their parents.

I highly recommend this book to be used in our schools, churches, and homes across America to inspire, challenge, and bring hope to parents and success to children everywhere.

All Hail to the Chief.

Pastor Rodney Maiden

FOREWORD

Chief Stitt’s fresh, clear, and precise outlook for the professional, parent, or law enforcement agent has given us all a direction to follow in dealing with the future of our youth. I can’t wait to make this a teaching tool in my practice and in the Church. I urge the Chief to continue to give us the solutions that yield the positive results that we need.

I salute him.

AN INTRODUCTION:

From Whence I Came

Remember from whence you came! I have quoted this powerful statement numerous times while speaking to people about improving their lives and becoming better, faster, stronger, and quality human beings. With that said, allow me to remember from whence I came.

Looking back, growing up in the Stitt household was something special. We lived on 93rd and Dunlap in Cleveland, Ohio. I was thirteen years old. Yes, we were the typical black family of the 1970s. There were seven people in our home, which consisted of four boys and one girl, and, of course, two parents. Our mom and dad were hard-working and determined to make sure we had the skills to be productive members of society. Our parents made us do chores. It was simple; do your assigned housework correctly and you could enjoy the comforts of life afterwards. For my parents, comforts consisted of eating dinner, being able to watch TV, and going outside to play. If our work wasn’t done, we not only didn’t get to enjoy those comforts, but most likely got our behinds whipped as well. Our mother would have us sit on the floor around her while she read stories to us. She had these seemingly huge, thick books that were filled with stories geared for children. Sometimes, she would just talk to us about integrity, loyalty, honor, and the importance of listening and following directions. My mother talked to us consistently about growing up and becoming champions of life. That was one of her favorite phrases. She would say, I want you all to become champions of life.

Wow, that brings back memories. My mother would often tell us how much she loved us and that she was hard on us because she and our dad knew what it was going to take for us to be productive members of society. Our parents taught us the meaning of the words accountability, determination, and responsibility. I remember this because she made us write the words on paper, look up the definitions of them,
